Dubrovnik Old Town
Unrivaled views of the red-roofed UNESCO World Heritage site and its historic medieval walls right after departure.
Elaphite Islands
A cluster of lush, green islands including Lopud and Koločep scattered in the turquoise waters near the Croatian coast.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak in the Apennines, often capped with snow, providing a dramatic mountainous backdrop.
St. Peter's Basilica
On specific northern approach paths, the iconic dome of the Vatican and the sprawl of the Eternal City are visible in the distance.
Tiber River
The winding path of the Tiber as it snakes through the Italian countryside towards the city center.
Sit on the right for the definitive 'farewell' view of Dubrovnik's walled city. For the best visibility of the Italian mountains, morning flights provide excellent front-lighting. Be ready with your camera immediately after the landing gear retracts, as the best city views happen quickly.

Adriatic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea during the mid-flight transition between Croatia and Italy.
Majella Massif
The rugged limestone peaks and deep canyons of the southern Apennines as you cross into the Abruzzo region.
Lake Albano
A striking volcanic crater lake in the Alban Hills, home to the Papal summer residence, visible during the final descent.
Lazio Coastline
The sandy stretches of the Tyrrhenian coast and the mouth of the Tiber River just before landing at FCO.
Choose this side if you want to avoid direct sunlight on morning flights. It offers better views of the volcanic lakes south of Rome. Keep an eye out for the white limestone cliffs of the Italian coastline as the plane leaves the sea behind.
